REVIEW.
New YORK, January l5.-Every one came
to business this morning expecting TO see the
market decline seriously on the passage of
the interstate bill, but the shorts were libo-
raj buyers, and they found but little stock
for sale, the result being that a sharp rally
set in, and prices advanced all around. The
effect of today's rise will, we think, be felt
generally as showing that the real effect Of
the inter State bill has been fully discounted
by the public, and that they are inclined TO
buy stocks. and especially the trunk lines on
every break.
The reports Of railroad earnings are beyond
all estimates and, while we are still inclined
to be conservative, we think that when the
strikes are settled, which can be buta matter
of a few days, we must have a better and
substantially higher market.
Prices closed very firm and at the highest
of the cay. Money . per cent.
